ZAKAT ON MONEY SAVED FOR HAJJ

*ZAKAT ON MONEY SAVED FOR HAJJ*

⭕Today's Question no. 1010⭕

A. I have saved Rs. 7 lacs for performing Hajj. This Ramadan marks the completion of a year. Is it compulsory (wajib) to calculate Hajj on this amount?

B. I have already paid Rs. 3 lacs in Hajj tour in advance. Do I have to pay zakat on that too?
Kindly requesting you to provide details and reasons for calculating zakat in details.

🔵Answer🔵

A. The amount of Rs 7 lacs in your possession has been for a year, therefore it is compulsory to calculate zakat on it even if the intention is performing Hajj.

B. Amount of Rs 3 lacs is yours but not in your possession, therefore zakat is not to be calculated on it. Zakat is compulsory on all possessions which belongs to you and is also with you.
